This course is the MSc seminar series. The primary goal of this course is to provide practical experience and guidance so students can concisely communicate their research results to an audience of educated, but not necessarily specialist, peers. This is an essential skill for anyone intending to seek a career in scientific research. Completion of this course is mandatory for all graduate students in the program. A secondary goal is to give each student broad knowledge of all aspects of research undertaken in the department. A tertiary goal is giving students experience in listening to scientific seminars and constructively critiquing others' research.
